    hi ti all
    is everybody happy with there bulbs ?

    the bulbs are fine but some of the plants i ordered seem to be in poor health. Called the customer services and they said they should be fine and are guaranteed to grow. I am taking pictures and will send it to them regardless just in case they decide not to grow.

    I'm more than happy with mine - will get them all planted as soon as the rain stops. In the meantime I'm making sure the plants are kept watered, and the bulbs are kept dry.

    my order arrived aswell and my strawberries were dead, phoned them they said they will be fine once planted (???) so i have also taken pictures and will be sending it to them. I wont be using this compant to buy plants in the future. i know i got alot free but i paid for the strawberries and i expect them to be allive when they arrive, out of 25 plants 2 are allive.

    Still not received any of mine (ordered on the 7th), when did everyone else order?
    Have just tried to call them, but it rings for 4 or 5 rings, then goes to a dead line, as if someone has picked up and put the phone straight down
    edit, just tried the number on the website instead of the one on the email and apparently they were dispatched yesterday :)
    now to see if my strawberries are dead

    Hmmm that's a bit worrying, I ordered two shrubs with my bulbs I hope they won't arrive dead. I got some free plant plugs before when I bought a Lavender bush and one of them died totally within a few days and the Lavender is now looking very sorry for itself too, so I am not confident of it's chances. I paid for that one, so not very happy about it. I placed my order 2 1/2 weeks ago (6th!) and I haven't received anything yet. Nothing was listed as having a wait for delivery. :(

    Im worried now i ordered loads of plants along with my bulbs, hope they are ok, as i want to order some more stuff, i rang them and they are waiting for 1 thing from each of my order so i should have them in the next week or so.

  • Strawberries do die off in winter. As long as the roots are healthy and you don't get too much frost you should be ok. Or plant them indoors for a while on your window sill.

    I ordered 'plugs' from a different company and was initially disappointed when they arrived but after a few months they did bloom really well.
